I hereby declare Michael Brown is the bravest man in America … heck, maybe the bravest man on the planet.<\/p>\n

Why this highest of praise? Brown has just married Marilu Henner.<\/p>\n

So, why is that such a big deal? Henner is a well-known comedic actress who broke onto the national scene on the TV series “Taxi.” But more than that, she possesses what’s called “total recall.” It’s called “autobiographical memory” or “hyperthymesia.”<\/p>\n

Henner can recite every single moment of her life. She is now 64 years of age.<\/p>\n

“60 Minutes” profiled Henner and some others a few years ago in a feature explaining this rare form of acute memory retention. “I can literally listen to a song on the radio when I’m driving and go to every single time I’ve heard it, like a flash montage,” she told The New York Times.<\/p>\n

I saw the story on the NYT’s Style section this morning and couldn’t get over the courage Henner’s new husband is demonstrating by marrying a woman with that kind of recall.<\/p>\n

All I have to say is that … Michael Brown, you’d better be on your best behavior — for the rest of your life! <\/em>Mind all your Ps and Qs, sir. Take it from me, as I’ve been at this marriage gig for 45 years: Your wife will remember every single detail of when you mess up.<\/p>\n

And you — in particular — would\u00a0be a damn fool to challenge her.<\/p>\n

I salute you, sir, the bravest man in the world.<\/p>\n\n
